The Fathers Name

Instead of relying on Greek manuscripts or magical papyri, I decided to go back to the
Hebrew evidence for the names pronunciation. In most places in the Hebrew
manuscripts, the name is obviously missing the second vowel, making it
unpronounceable and obvious to a native Hebrew reader not to read it as is. With the
missing second vowel, it would read Yehvah, and this is an obvious error to native
Hebrew speakers:

But in the following instances in the Aleppo Codex Hebrew manuscript, it has the missing
second vowel (the dot at the top called an olam), making it Yehovah.

Gen. 3:14
Gen. 9:26
Exod. 3:2
Exod. 13:3, 9, 15
Exod. 14:1, 8
Lev. 25:17
Deut. 31:27
Deut. 32:9
Deut. 33:12f
1 Ki. 3:5
1 Ki. 16:33
Ps. 15:1
Ps. 40:5
Ps. 47:6

Ps. 100:5
Ps. 116:5f
Prov. 1:29
Jer. 2:37
Jer. 3:1, 13, 21f, 25
Jer. 4:3, 8
Jer. 5:2f, 9, 15, 18f, 22, 29
Jer. 6:9
Jer. 8:13
Jer. 30:10
Jer. 36:8
Ezek. 44:5
Nah. 1:3

In the Leningrad Codex Hebrew manuscript, there are even more instances of the name
having all of the necessary vowel points. Find the details of what Hebrew sources we
have for the Fathers name in the book Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence by Nehemia
Gordon or the book His Hallowed Name Revealed Again by Keith Johnson. The name is
pronounced Yehovah.
